Puppet

I have an nfs mount on solaris 10 defined as:

file { '/mnt/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID':
    ensure => directory,
}
mount { '/mnt/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID':
    device => 'foo:/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID',
    fstype => 'nfs',
   ensure => 'mounted',
    options => 'rw,bg,soft',
    atboot => true,
    require => File['/mnt/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID']
}

This can be resolved by specifying the blockdevice as “–”

file { '/mnt/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID':
    ensure => directory,
}
mount { '/mnt/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID':
    device => 'foo:/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID',
    fstype => 'nfs',
    ensure => 'mounted',
    options => 'rw,bg,soft',
    atboot => true,
    require => File['/mnt/FA_CR_CONT_UNPAID'],
    blockdevice => '-'
}

I would think the mount resource should already know that for nfs. The docs say: blockdevice The device to fsck. This is property is only valid on Solaris, and in most cases will default to the correct value.
